We ElderChicks are happy to hear from all of you. And while the speech is certainly free, we do take pride in the civility we all show. Our prompt this month marks the advent of our first woman major party candidate – accent on First Woman. While Marianne’s post mentions Hillary Clinton, it’s in the context of what she hopes she will bring to the office of president as a woman – not Hillary’s personal history.

Several people have written to express their very personal feelings about Hillary Clinton. We’ve never taken a partisan stance (yet) and would rather not publish comments that ignore the question but stoke ill will and anger directed at her personally.

So how come we may be one of the last major countries of the world to elect a woman? Does it mean anything to you? It’s perfectly okay if the answer is “No.” Tell us.
